Referring back to those principals is exactly what will allow us to do the things you say - and I agree - need to be done.

And they say the ones who protest this are the “lawless” ones...
All three cops body cams “fell” off, they inject this small kid who weighs 140lbs with 500mg of ketamine to “calm” him down, put him in a choke hold, he has two heart attacks and is pronounced brain dead. He was a violinist who was walking home listening to music. #ElijahMcClain

Why only 10%?
Why do we spend more on the military than the next 11 nations combined? I have a better idea: Cut Pentagon spending by 10% and invest it in the fight to end homelessness, hunger and poverty in the richest country on Earth. nitter.vloup.ch/i/broadcasts/1DX…

Read “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis to understand how important agencies of the US government have been systematically dismantled by those who basically do not want the government to serve the people at all.buzzfeednews.com/article/dan…

No, a “voluntary demotion” means he has taken basically no responsibility at all.

On this one, start shouting and don’t stop.
By distorting Mueller Report, lying about Berman’s resignation, dismissing Flynn case, and watering down Stone’s sentence, Barr has turned DOJ into a propaganda machine. washingtonpost.com/national-…

Left-wingers revising our history is no less unbalanced than right-wingers revising our history. The Dec of Independence isn’t what they embodied; it’s the codification of principles for every generation to try to actualize more fully. What do you think it is we’re doing today?

Not all of them, and the constitution is a living breathing document. Read some American history.

.@EvaPutzova is a progressive congressional candidate in Arizona-1. From Medicare for All to a Green New Deal, she’s exactly the type of person we need in Congress. Let’s help make it happen.
The only thing stopping us from bold action are politicians who choose to work for corporations instead of the people.
That's why I'm running for Congress in #AZ01 — we need Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and true justice for all.
Watch & RT our campaign video! 💕

You’re leaving out labor unions, child labor laws etc. I agree with you that unbridled capitalism is winning at the moment, but it’s simply not true to say that its prevalence has been the linear trend. It’s always a struggle and it’s simply our generation’s turn to push it back.

Political change doesn’t just happen; it incubates first. Countless small awakenings accumulate, moving 100s of millions of people in different ways from distraction to alertness to serious concern & ultimately to conviction. It’s happening now, & that’s why change is on the way.

That is NOT all this is about. It’s about chokeholds, qualified immunity, no-knock warrants and more.

The status quo never seeks to change itself but only to perpetuate itself. The Senate Republican police reform bill is basically no reform at all - which should surprise no one. Winning the Senate back from the Repubs is as important as winning the WH. #AndrewRomanoff #BetsySweet

Martin Luther King Jr. said we need “a quantitative shift in our circumstances and a qualitative shift in our souls.” Spiritual seekers need political literacy and political activists need purification of heart.… instagram.com/p/CB3D-JkBuoQ/…

As bad as the assault on our democracy becomes, that’s how good we have to become to push it back. This whole thing is a call not only for changes in government but for changes in us. We’re the ones who let it get this bad and we’re the ones who are going to have to change it now
